Great game company that makes bright fast-paced game featuring: Mario, Luigi, Fox, Link, and Samus. They invented the game boy, and after that other gaem companies copied them (Sega, NeoGeo, other assorted japanse companies) but failed. the game boy is still being made today. Alos made pokemon games, but they made up for it.

Nintendo is a video game company that has been around for about 107 or more years and started out as a card company with their "Hanafunda" cards in 1889. They managed to become Japan's biggest playing card company. In 1969-82, Nintendo began making toys then later on went into arcades. Druing this year range Shigeru Miyamoto joined Nintendo and made Radar Scope (Arcade) which wasn't as big a hit as his second game Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong was Nintendo's very first hit. Mario's first appearance was also in Donkey Kong only Mario was a Carpenter named Jumpman at the time. Nintendo also began making the Famicon (NES) in this time era. Then in the year range of 1983-1989 Nintendo nearly had complete control of the gaming industry with the Famicon (NES). 1990-1997, Sega enters the picture with the Genises (Mega Drive) and competition in the gaming industry begins to rise. Nintendo also released the SNES (super Famicon). Then later on in this era, Nintendo released the Nintendo 64, after Sony had the Playstation and Sega had the Saturn already released. In the 1998-2005 (And early 06') era, Nintendo went handheld with GB, then soon after GBC and GBP. Then Nintendo advanced their handhelds with GBA, and now with the Nintendo DS (Has nothing to do with GBA dispite it's playback with GBA cartridges) and Sony's competing PSP. Home console wise, Sony had the PS2, Sega had Dreamcast which didn't last for long, and Microsoft entered the picture with Xbox and Nintendo came out with the GameCube which was aimed at younger audiences to expand the gamer limit. Though the GameCube did have many Mature rated titles it was aimed mainly toward children and teens alike. Now Sony is currently in works on PS3 and Microsoft has already launched the Xbox360, while Nintendo will come in last with the Nintendo Revolution which will also be the cheapest of the Next Generation home consoles.
Other Nintendo notes: Nintendo attempted to make a Taxi and Love Hotel but failed. Nintendo also made a vaccum. Nintendo also invented most of the features we use today, such as: Shoulder buttons, rumble/vibration, wireless controller, D-pad, handheld playback, and many many more features. (Note: Do not give Nintendo credit for built in lights on the handhelds, for Sega was first to use this technology.
Fanboys must bash Nintendo out of jealousy huh?
